Reply to comment by Ghost_of_P34 in Salesforce to cut staff by 10% in latest tech layoffs by ChocolateTsar

Yeah, I don't understand why they bring so many celebrities and famous people to DreamForce. Most people using Salesforce's software probably don't care.

It's just product awareness and is not targeted to current users. The one time advertising cost is nothing to them.

It's just appearances, fitting in with the scene (that they helped create). I've worked with and for 'salesforce companies' and it's a lot of EBITDA focused cult-like insanity.

I got to see Stevie Wonder at Dreamforce about five years ago. It was great until he went on a pro-Hillary Clinton rant for about 15 minutes....

That sucked

You are telling me sales people don’t care about having celebrity addled experiences to brag about?
